Speaking of the trials which Prospero puts upon Ferdinand, she says:
“Make not too rash a trial of him, for
He’s gentle and not fearful.”
When she learns of her helplessness at the time they were set adrift, she says:
“O, my heart bleeds
To think o’ the teen that I have turn’d you to.”
When Miranda hears how her father was treated by her false uncle, she exclaims:
“Alack, for pity!
I, not remembering how I cried on’t then,
Will cry it o’er again: it is a hint
That wrings mine eyes to’t.”
(d) She is brave.
Prospero says of her childhood:
“O, a cherubim
Thou wast that did preserve me! Thou didst smile,
Infused with a fortitude from Heaven.”
(e) She is innocent and unacquainted with mankind and hates the sight of evil.
